The Most Auspicious Day of the Year
"What We Focus On Expands"
The day after April 23rd - a day when we had experienced quite a strong earthquake - I felt moved to share this reminder.
I had dedicated a significant section to this topic in my book; it’s something I care about and am mindful about integrating into my daily life.
When I sit down to
write, I usually don’t plan much in advance. I simply place my pen on the
paper - or in this case, my fingers on the keyboard - and let myself flow. I don’t
interfere much with which words come through, and the topic naturally unfolds
on its own.
This time, what
came to mind was Akshaya Tritiya, a very auspicious day we’ll be
experiencing very soon. For years now, I’ve tried to honor the tradition of
purchasing a small piece of gold, no matter how small, on this abundant day.
"Akshaya"
means eternal or that which never diminishes, while
"Tritiya" refers to the third day of the lunar calendar.
This special day
falls on April 29th and 30th this year. In Istanbul time, it begins at 3:00
PM (5.00 A.M. Pacific Time) on April 29th and lasts for 12 hours and 18 minutes.
Starting from 3:00
PM (5.00 A.M PT) , you might choose to buy even just 1 gram of gold - or if gold isn’t
accessible, something else that symbolizes abundance for you. Between 5:15
PM and 6:45 PM, (7.15 A.M and 8.45 A.M PT)you can also initiate anything you'd like to see grow - plant
its seeds, so to speak.
Because anything
started during this time is believed to flourish and succeed, Akshaya Tritiya
is associated with everlasting success and is considered a highly
auspicious time for new beginnings.
Today, I felt like
shifting my focus to something uplifting, you might like to join in and make
it a beautiful day for you too.
And when the 29th
arrives, you might feel inspired to give it a try as well.
MAY OUR MIRACLES BE INSTANT AND EVERLASTING.
